Zhang was featured in Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No.1 in B-flat minor at the concert. The 34-year-old pianist was born in Shanghai and rose to prominence after winning the gold medal at the 13th Van Cliburn International Piano Competition in 2009. Last month Zhang had his right index finger bone fractured while moving furniture, and at Sunday's concert he played with his finger still wrapped in bandage.

"I have recovered faster than anyone expected — the doctors and even myself. I am now able to play as normal, unaffected," Zhang said before the concert on last sunday morning. "It turns out a positive attitude and strong willpower is the most effective medicine."
